Warspite, I think you're too quick to give up entrenched positions in the West. For example, in post no 16, I can understand abandoning the hexes nearest Verdun, but why fall back from the three hexes close to the Swiss border?

He he he[:D].
Warspite is reduced to living on his nerves, wearing a dishevelled WWI British Army uniform, swigging from a half empty whiskey bottle, waving his revolver in the air and shouting ' Hold them at all costs boys!!'

Now Empire has me on the rack too. I can understand now why my wife says this to me all the time:

I forgot to mention that Warspite landed in Calais ( that I foolishly left undefended ) around turn 10 with a British Inf unit and scared the bejesus out of me!!

The German High Command had to immediately remove themselves to the corner shop and buy a ( very ) small bottle of Jagermeister, and take a few snorters to quell the rising panic!!

Luckily I had enough spare troops at hand to almost destroy the British unit ( reduced to a yellow 1 Strength ), before they re-embarked and disappeared over the horizon.

The down side of all of this is that this diversion stopped the advance on Paris. Clever Warspite....curse him!!!![:D][:D][:@][:@]

Now I join Moltke in the Great Hall of the Prevaricators.[:(]

But I can't find the screenshots, so you'll all have to take my word for it!

Yes, I had nothing better to do, so I thought I would get the British Army to practice what it would be like evacuating troops from a French port while surrounded by the dastardly boche...you never know that kind of knowledge may come in handy in... oh, i don't know, circa 25 years time [;)]

20PP of convoy lost, 35EP worth of the only Entente submarine on the map.

You can afford that trade.

Congrats to the High Seas Fleet on defeating the Russian menace, that's the real threat to the ore convoy.

Thanks for the input catwhoorg....and welcome.

I was'nt thinking in terms of PP's. When you put it like that, I felt much better!![:D]

The game is tense and exciting, and Warspite is a great opponent!!
Every turn has its surprise's!![X(]

I suspect I'm a great opponent because I appear, once again, to be getting my bottom whipped.....[;)]

In all seriousness though, and apologies if I've mentioned this before, but this is a terrific game!

Thanks to CTGW, this is the first time I have gone down the PBEM route - I must say its a great, easy to use, system Slitherine have going here. Playing some quality opponents too - Empire, the Ormster and colberki to name but three. Thoroughly good fun!
